Form Reinerdahl

Construction and design are always running through his head. He has designed and built several of his own furnitures, as well as a fully functioning cryptex - although not as beautiful as the one in the movie "The Da Vinci Code". He is a member of the Friends of the Vasa Museum, with a hard-to-top fascination for the largest preserved single object in the world. One which managed to stay hidden for 333 years, in the very center of Stockholm. It was a both unexpected and happy surprise the day in 2008 when he was accepted as a member of Swedish Mensa, an organization which seek to identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit of humanity.

Among the sources of inspiration you will find painters as Norman Rockwell, Maxfield Parrish and Jan Vermeer.

Bo Reinerdahl was born in Stockholm over 40 years ago. After completing the obligatory 9 year school, he continued with a 2 year Electric/Technical education at Nynäshamns Gymnasium. From there he went straight on to an additional 1-year education in Home Electronics at Polhemsgymnasiet, later re-named Sankt Eriks gymnasium. His first employment was in 1984, at Amlab AB in Nynäshamn. The tasks contained mechanical mounting and soldering. Later, also testing of electronic equipment. Both civilian and military products. He achieved certificate for military soldering and held a position of trust as a local union representative. The company was later merged with Philips Electronic Industries AB. He did non-weapons military service at a pre-school in Nynäshamn during 1988. The year after that, his employment was cancelled due to cut backs. He then decide to re-educate himself and became a pre-school teacher. After graduation, he moved to Sundsvall in the north of Sweden where he worked as a temporary pre-school teacher. In autumn of 1993 he was accepted at the Sundsvall Art School. A 2-year basic art education, containing painting, photography, sculpture, graphics and art history. Straight after Art School he went for an additional year of Magazine Design & Desktop Publishing at Mitthögskolan in Sundsvall. This education provided a solid introduction to the computer world - both in graphic design and image handling. In 1997 he moved back to Stockholm for a full time employment at Nine Design AB. The tasks varied mainly from basic layout to print originals - concerning adverts, stationary material and all kinds of other printing areas. When his employment was ended in 2003, again due to cut backs, he decided to go into business of his own. The assignments have mainly concerned technical illustrations, often used to explain complex processes and functions.
	For a long time he has been interested in QuickTime Virtual Reality (QTVR) and has both constructed and manufactured a number of designs of a Camera Head specially designed for QTVR photography. The Camera Head allows the photographer to turn the camera with the precision necessary for the QTVR photography, 360° sideways and 180° from floor to ceiling. In the same manner, a number of rotating podiums have been built in a number of sizes. The podiums are being used for the precision rotation of objects being subject to the QTVR Object photography
